personality. — "i'm ardene kim, no explanation needed."
her confidence is one of her strongest traits. she always has her head held high and doesn't let others pull her down. she has no problem voicing out her thoughts and opinions. she believes strongly in herself and she knows she can do a good job.
— "i'm okay my , you're sick bozo."
she's also really observant. she likes watching people, her surroundings, everything. from the smell of the morning dew, the coldness of a winter night, how the sun shines through the trees. she can see the good in the bad and the bad in the good. because she’s observant, she can predict what other people are thinking or what they feel as of that moment by just their facial expressions and body language. this side of her shows that she's a real softie and is very caring towards everything and everyone.
— "fun is where i'm at"
she is a perfect example of a mischief maker. she likes to cause trouble and prank people in a playful way, all with good intentions of course. she likes to liven up the atmosphere with her humorous stories and jokes and sometimes lame ones as well. she'll laugh at her lames ones which makes the whole room laugh with her. she's also always down for new experiences and anything that can give her a smile or laugh when reminiscing about it. she enjoys making people smile and laugh and it calms her and she doesn't know why. she is a master of communication and is a very amusing and gifted entertainer. fun and variety are guaranteed when she is around. have her as a friend, you will never be bored; with her, you can enjoy life to the full and celebrate the best parties.
— "i couldn't care less really, just do you"
ardene is a person who accepts a person as they are. she doesn't really care about what other people label them, as long as she knows what kind of person they are, she wouldn't take other people's judgment. she's willing to embrace change and and try new things. she gets bored when things are repetitive. she respects each person's difference and encourages them to be proud of themselves. she doesn't label people other than those b*stards who are worthless and all that.
— *does crab dance out of the blue*
everything she does is really extra and unpredictable. from her reactions to her imitations and all. she's like a living meme and people can't help but laugh and enjoy. but sometimes it can be cringeworthy but still funny. she does stuff out of the box and out of the norm. it's no surprise if one of her antics trends and becomes viral. she also has a weird way of explaining her thoughts and stuff. she basically doesn't care about her image, which gets her scolded. she also out of nowhere asks senseless and nonsense questions that makes you go wtf at her.

— "dude every cool girl is half boy"
ardene is really a boyish girl. maybe because of growing up with a dad and a twin brother. she's always down for anything and loves the thrill. bungee jumping, sky diving, you name it. she's pretty relaxed with herself and around people and doesn't mind ruining her image. she isn't afraid to get her hands dirty but well she is afraid of cockroaches and spiders. she likes skateboarding with her brother and other friends.
— *sniffs* "what?! can't i have feelings too?!"
a typical pisces trait. she is a pretty emotional and sensitive person. she is easily touched or easily hurt by things or people. she cries easily and is labeled a cry baby by some. but her emotions are genuine and real. she will most likely be the first one to cry in a sad drama or movie. she is also pretty good hiding her real emotions though, especially if she doesn't want to cause worry to people.
— "that's not it, do it again."
she's someone who strives for perfection and good results. she has a strong sense of purpose especially when it comes to music. there are days that she doesn't get a second of sleep just to perfect a song. you can rely on her to do a good job at what ever task she's assigned. there's no doubt that she'll struggle at something she's not familiar of but she is a quick learner and is eager to learn and accepts new information and knowledge. she also knows how to deal with any situation and is quick to her feet. there is also a bad side to being a perfectionist and that is over criticing herself. she doesn't like failure and if she does, it takes a big toll on her. she gets pressured living up to people's expectations and fears that she won't be able to meet them.

— "everything's fine"
she is a really secretive person despite her very extra and outgoing personality. she tends to hide her troubles and worries to herself and hates when she causes trouble to people. she doesn't like showing her weak side, so she hides that side of her from everyone. she's also a pretty good liar when it comes to herself, people won't be able to tell if she's okay or not coz her tone of voice is always convincing.
— "quit trying to be a smart , you're just an ."
she speaks fluent sarcasm. she gets irritated when she says something that is the furthest thing from serious, but the person she's talking to just doesn’t understand her sarcasm. when she meets someone and she instantly hates them, she has a super hard time hiding it. she kinda got the habit of ending sentences with 'just kidding' or 'it was a joke' to lighten things up when everyone got silet or something. since she's known to be mischievous and funny, people don't get when she's being sarcastic or being funny and it irritates her a lot, which draws out her sarcasm even more.
— "you're good, but i'm better"
ardene is arrogant. growing up and getting used to being labelled as perfect by people got in her head. she has that overbearing pride and thinks she knows things more than she actually does. she loves displaying her elevated opinion and will act high and mighty. she just loves to be the center of attention and hates it when someone steals her spotlight. she diminishes others to make herself feel more superior. she kinda has a superiority complex. she is also aggressive.
— "well this, that,  every piece of ."
ardene is pretty vulgar and swears a lot. rather than bottling up her anger, she releases it through swearing. she swears when she's angry, she swears when she's surprised, she swears even when she's just explaining something. though her swearing means no harm most of the time, it turns people off a lot especially those who are not used to hearing such words and she comes of a uneducated and rude, though she's really not rude, sometimes.
—  "oh is that what you mean by talent? where."
she is a living example of brutal yet awesome. she speaks her mind, thoughts and opinions freely, without holding back. if she knows you're at fault, she will no doubt confront you about it. she doesn't mind you disliking her or think of her negatively. she's the person who did or said something nobody else had the guts to. she doesn't care about the consequences of her actions. her words can be really harsh to the point of making the other party cry.

background. ardene was born in sydney, australia to korean parents. growing up, ardene loved the ocean especially since she grew up with a father who's work is related to the ocean waters. her father would take her and her twin brother to the beach and sometimes they would accompany him at his work when they go by boat to the sea. they would also go hiking, camping and fishing during the their summer breaks. ardene grew up pretty adventurous and boyish. still she never had taken a liking to insects though. she took up piano since she was four years old, her mother being a piano teacher. she enjoyed playing the piano and she started to love music since then. her love for music bloomed thanks to her parents. other than her mother being a piano teacher, she was also a pretty decent singer. her dad, surprisingly, is pretty good in singing. and it was all thanks to being part of their church's choir. she learned to love singing as well. another reason for her love of music is her dad's passion of collecting vinyl records of classic bands and artists. she grew up listening to different types of bands and artists and dreamt of creating amazing music just like them.

in 2010, she found out about the jyp global auditions in sydney and decided to try out. she actually didn't plan on becoming an idol but she wanted to at least try if it is a possible path for her and surprisingly she made it through and managed to became a jyp trainee. her parents didn't want to send her off to seoul since she was still very young, but ardene was persistant that she wanted to follow the path where she can enjoy music. with a very long discussion, her parents agreed and decided that she'll stay with her uncle first before moving into a dorm arranged by jyp entertainment. she enrolled at seoul foreign school for her middle school and enrolled at school of performing arts in the department of practical music for her high school. early feb 2016, her twin brother passed away because of a car accident back in sydney. jyp allowed her to fly back to sydney to mourn for her brother. when she got back to seoul, she was more distant and eventually was diagnosed with depression. she had a long talk with jyp whether she wanted to continue being a trainee. she didn't stop and contemplate and told him she will continue, knowing that her brother won't want for her to quit her dreams.

relationships. 

— childhood friend : felix lee / idol (stray kids) / weirdo, cry baby, weirdo / 9 out of 10

basically felix and ardene's parents knew each other since way before they were born so they practically were born to be best friends. ardene knew felix since he was in his mom's belly. she calls him lixie and he calls her arie while aiden had the nickname deni. ardene is actually one of felix's inspirations to become a kpop idol and ardene loves teasing him about it. ardene is also the one that introduced felix to bang chan hence felix being part of them. felix was and still is one of the people ardene's thankful for when her brother passed. despite being the younger one, he supported her and was very mature and helped her through it. 

ardene was monitoring felix's rap practice. felix stopped and waited for a feedback from ardene. she stayed quiet for 2 seconds and then "still can't get used to your voice. it's weird." "not helping arie. and it's called puberty." "puberty my bum." she stood up, stretched and started walking out of the practice room. "hey! feedback!"
 

— close friend / rivals : chris bang / idol (stray kids) / hardworking, semi-weirdo / 8 out of 10

they're close same aged friends who share the same passion and interests. they also consider each other as rivals, thought it's just a friendly rivalry. they used to collaborate during jyp trainee showcases. she still calls him chris since she's more used to it. 

"i swear chris bang if you weren't my friend, i would have killed ya." let us all silence ourselves as an icing-face ardene stomps towards bang chan, who was snickering at the sight of her. "well, it's a good look for you ardene." that ticked ardene off and well let us pray for bang chan's life.
 

— close friend / member : shin ryujin / idol (prism) / boyish, hard working, kind / 8 out of 10

ardene considers ryujin as one of the members she's closest too especially having similar personalities and humor. these two are like the oppas of the group. she helps ryujin when she sees her struggling with something. they're humor is also the same and well the other members sometimes don't get the two. ardene is usually seen hugging ryujin or linking arms with her.

"ryujin-ah~~~~" ardene suddenly patted ryujin's . "yes unnie?" "wanna go to a dessert buffet with me?" ryujin stared at ardene for like 10 seconds. "unnie you're on a diet though." ardene stared at her before smiling big. "i take that as a yes." before dragging ryujin out the jyp building.
 

— close friend / member : jin yebin / idol (prism) / understanding, thoughtful, empathetic / 7 out of 10

yebin is another person that ardene is thankful for after her brother's death. despite not being that close, yebin was a sweetheart and took care of ardene when she was at her worst. yebin's personality was shown and ardene can't help but compare her to an angel. even though yebin was the younger girl, she took care of ardene like an unnie and ardene is very thankful for that. because of this, ardene works and tries hard to return the favor by being a good unnie and leader to yebin.

the members were all sprawled out the floor. yebin was standing up, hands on her hips while breathing heavily. ardene saw and grabbed a towel and a water bottle then made her way towards yebin. "yebin-ah." yebin turned to her and smiled, thanking her unnie. ardene fixed yebin's hair while she was drinking. 

stage name. ardene ; she likes her name and finds it already unique
persona. topsy turvy ; means that she's different than she looks. she may look unapproachable and a but she's really friendly, boyish and fun. she's basically an idol that has a reversal charm. can also mean to not underestimate her by her appearance coz she's better than people think.

plotline. red
backup. white

vocal twin. blackpink's jennie (link), she's considered better than some group's main vocalists in terms of stability and volume of her voice, she can hit high notes but sometimes forces her voice too much that it feels strained
dance twin. blackpink's jennie (link), though not considered in the dance line, training for eight years made her dancing more sharp and clean, she can be the next after the dance line but prefers being part of the vocal line
rap twin. blackpink's jennie (link, just in case hehehe) though not a rap line, she's also capable of rapping though nowhere near the level of the rap line, but when she wants a certain rap style for a song, she demonstrates it. (kinda similar with bang chan, can rap but does vocals more)
other twin(s). 
aegyo: blackpink's jennie (link), she's actually good at doing aegyo but she despises it and hates doing it. she will cringe really hard after doing it and will return to her boyish self immediately.

savageness: blackpink's jennie (link), her savageness is greate for variety because it's so random people get caught off guard sometimes which gives a huge laugh, though she tones it down for broadcast

trainee years. 8 years
elaboration. she entered the company, unsure if she'll ever be able to debut. the only knew how to sing and play the piano. it was a tough road at first, having to adjust to the korean culture and trainee life. in a few weeks into her training, she felt homesick. during that time, she met bang chan, who was a fellow aussie. they found out both of them passed the 2010 jyp sydney audition and immediately became close friends. her vocal skills improved a lot and it became more clearer and more stable as she trains more. her dancing skills, though wasn't the best when she started, gradually improved and her moves became sharper and now she can follow the instructor without having a hard time. she also started learning the guitar to further her musicality skills and even started composing songs. at first, her compositions were all pen, paper and music notes but when she started studying at sopa, she learned how to use technology and softwares and that's when her passion for creating music started. she eventually influenced bang chan and they both critic each other's works. she was actually supposed to be part of the sixteen candidates but decided to focus on learning music production instead. during jyp trainee showcases, she performs her songs and eventually had a small fanbase. she started a soundcloud account where she showcases her creations and she earned around 2,000 followers. when jyp acknowledged her skills, she started to co-produce songs for jyp artists and then eventually grouped her with other girls to prepare for debut.

personality.

— chan is a huge ball of sunshine. he's always smiling and laughing at it is contagious. he's the definition of a beagle idol. he's always active, moving and is pretty unpredictable and weird. he likes to tell jokes and goof around. he's friendly and doesn't have a hard time to befriend others, and people don't take long to come to like him. he's also hardworking and doesn't like worrying others, so he tends to keep his burdens to himself. he has a kind heart and doesn't think twice before helping someone. he also has good leadership skills and knows when to step up. he has good talking skills so he's most likely to be the mc of his group. when he's angry, he gets quiet and it is pretty evident on his face. but he doesn't let it affect his work. he tends to overwork himself without holding himself back and he tends to injure his right knee because of it.

— ardene and chan met when he was still a jyp trainee. they met through bang chan. being same aged and having the similar beagleness, they got close in no time. they used to go out and eat together or go to places as trainees. their close friendship was evident when they were zombie cameos in twice's ooh ahh mv. it was seen during the bts videos, though that time, fans paid it no mind. they used to practice together a lot and would give each other honests criticisms and advises. when ardene's brother passed away, chan was her pillar of support when she returned back to seoul after mourning for her brother, other than her bang chan and felix. he made sure that ardene was alright and not doing anything that would harm herself. he checks up on her and would either message her or call her everyday to make sure she's safe and is taking her pills. chan still spends time with her even after he moved to beat interactive and started training with his soon to be group. ardene was also very supportive of him and when his group started doing busking performances, she watched every single one. there are even pre-debut pictures and videos where their close friendship was seen. they also both go to dong-ah institute of media and arts, though different majors. they always go to university together when their schedules match and would eat together too. sometimes, when chan's classes end first and he's not rushing to go training, he would wait until ardene finishes her classes and they would go home together.

chan invited ardene to join him in 1million classes, which he thinks would at least keep ardene's mind away from the sadness. and it worked. she even improved her dancing. she was also there when a.c.e started preparing for their debut and even watched their dance practice, which made her know the dance by heart. when a.c.e debuted, she couldn't watch their debut performance because of their conflicting schedule but she did send a cake and flowers and called chan to congratulate his group and him. when a.c.e made a comeback with the song 'callin', chan mentioned that he wanted to dedicate the song's message to a very close friend who's going through a rough time, and that person is ardene.

when chan also told ardene about the unit, she wasn't sure about it at first especially since she doesn't really like survival programs like that. chan knows about this but ardene sincerely wished him good luck and she makes sure that he isn't pressuring himself too much and that he is taking care of himself especially his right knee. when chan made it to the finale, she made sure that she attended, she accompanied chan's mom and aunt who came from jeju and sat beside them. when he was announced as a nominee for the last member to join the final nine, she was nervous as hell and even started to tear up. when it was announced that he's the last member, she cried in joy. chan started walking towards the other end of the stage but made sure to throw a big heart towards them, and ardene did a finger heart back at him while still crying and comforting his mom. chan thanked his mom and aunt for coming all the way from jeju and also thanked ardene though only he mentioned a very close friend, not saying her name. after the live broadcast, they reunited with chan, ardene let his mom and aunt hug and congratulate him first, then s. when chan turned to her, he immediately hugged her tight, thanking her for the support and trust she gave him, which made ardene tear up and cry again, making chan for it.

eventually chan became busy and they rarely see each other but they kept in touch via their phones and would talk with each other everyday. though right now, there aren't any romantic feelings between them, it'll slowly grow soon as their friendship and bonds get stronger and they get to know each other more. right now their close best friends and when solar debuts, their friendship will be known by the public (kinda like somi and daehwi's friendship)

password. 
debut title track: black dress (originally by clc), it has a strong message with an addictive beat drop that makes the listeners playback on repeat. at first listen, the lyrics interprets seducing someone, but looking it in a deeper perspective, it's about putting on a black dress and becoming a more strong and confident woman than they usually are. they want to inspire themselves to step out of their comfort zone.

concept idea: their overall concept can be for each comeback they represent a color. like if it is red, a very fierce and full of passion concept. pink, a more girly and cute concept, and the like.
for their debut they chose black to showcase a contrast to twice's image of being cute and fresh. they wanted to portray a more darker, stronger, bold, and confident image.
